    Thank you for sharing your journey. You (and Selma Blair) have given me the courage to share mine as well. The more I learn, the more I realize MS has been a major part of my life for an extremely long time. But we are warriors! We will adapt and continue to live life to the best of our ability.

      Saying "I understand" is really unprofessional for a psychologist. Word it better, "I can only imagine" since you don't have MS yourself. I wouldn't want to sit with a psychologist with that type of mentality or reckless wording.

      I'm glad the two previous replies see through the bullshit of your comment.
      You can be familiar with the pain, perhaps through observing/working with other clients, but you cannot truly understand individual pain from their point of view.
      Seriously, wtf were you thinking by flexing you were a psychologist. "I understand all of your pain".
      Wtf??

      100% @krux I agree. As a person who suffers from these symptoms AND goes to therapy with a real professional, her words that she “understands” deeply is insulting to me, given she has no experiential lived reality. Thank you for speaking the truth. It is unhealthy when people misrepresent themselves this way - it makes creating safe spaces for others even more difficult

    I didn't know the exact symptoms of MS till I saw Selma Blair talking about them. I am a huge fan of hers and seeing her go through such a debilitating disease and fighting it, just impacted me hugely. My heart goes to everyone suffering from this disease. I admire also all the people coming out and posting these videos and sharing their stories to create awareness and more understanding on this. I hope one day there will be a cure. Blessings to all

    Wow 20 lesions, you poor guy! I'm recently diagnosed but only had 3. My attack/relapse was very different from yours. Tingling from the neck down then paralyzed on the right side for just over a week. I see a lot of people arguing in the comments. This disease is individual for every single person. It is not a competition. If anything we need to ban together. Thank you for sharing, it helps hearing peoples stories.

      yes def gotta stick together! My first doc said he thought only young girls got MS, i said NEXT! I only had 3 lesions also, my neuro said i cant have MS cuz i only had 3 LOL. I said i know MS confirmed ppl with NO lesions. I try not to get jaded but damn ive had my share of bad docs... After 7 MRIs, 2 LPs I STILL havnt got an official DX, after years of living with it there isnt anything else it could be....recently ive heard very interesting things like ambien (the sleeping
      pill) for dramatic improvements in brain injury, stroke patients etc...i
      wonder if MS ppl can benefit?! another one is QUALITY coconut oil for
      cog fog & fatigue, i like it. I take 1 tablespoon a day with food or
      in hot drink, some ppl say the saturated fat isnt good but why not cut
      down on other fat (like crisco, lard, butter) when cooking, use better
      for you coconut oil instead.... 5K to 10K a day Vit D (infused WITH Vit
      K) with biggest meal of the day, make sure you eat calcium rich foods
      daily as it helps Vit D absorb. these are just a few things to get you
      curious to research for yourself

      Hi, I was recently diagnosed with MS and I did some research on alot of things , and when I did my research on the list of medications I could try , I am very nervous to start on a medication because of some of the harsh side effects, and when my blood tests came back everything was fine except my vitamin D3 was very low and I also had gotten covid 19 which sparked a trigger in my immune system, and then I did some more research and it saids that having low vitamin D3 can trigger an Ms attack and getting a unknown virus can trigger an Ms attack and stress can be a trigger and eating unhealthy can trigger for an Ms attack , so I decided that for a year im going to eat really healthy and get as much sunlight and eat alot of rich foods in vitamin D3 and exercise because exercise is really good for the body to avoid an Ms attack and naturally you body wants to heal itself but if you have alot of toxins and other issues your body has to fight off first then the body cant heal what you want it to heal, and in that year if doing my very best of staying healthy doesn't work and in my MRI tests shows that I developed more lesions then I will consider taking an medication, alot of those medications have liver side effects and possibly brain infection side effects that can cause death and I seen alot of things that saids that the medications could be used for chemo for cancer which is very strong to take and the medications make your immune system very weak which can be scary and some of the medications that you can take can make your Ms worse if you got off of it so that's another concern and the doctors want to say that you'll be fine but my doctor wanted me to do a medication that can cause an brain infection and he didn't tell me that side effect the pharmacy had told me about it so I would say make sure you do your research as well , and the doctors want to say that they don't know what causes Ms but I have a very strong feeling that it's from not being healthy , having alot of inflammation in your body can cause Ms triggers and can cause other diseases as well , alot of the process foods that people eat have alot of chemicals in the food that your liver and body have to detox from it and if you eat constant process food your liver and body can go on overload and act out of wack , your hormones act out of wack and your immune system will act out of wack as well, vitamin D3 is probably the most important vitamin to have and make sure it's not low ever , I understand that I could put myself in risk for a year by doing the holistic porch but I would like to at least try that way first and if I know that I tryed my very best to be healthy and if it still doesn't work then I guess I will try a medication.

She was doing remarkably well until and unfortunate accident at Work. She’s been recovering slowly since. Most people including myself don’t understand the full spectrum a person with MS goes thru. Particularly the ups and downs, I keep her moving forward but often forget how difficult things can be. Every now and then you need a reminder to realized how resilient people with MS are and focus on what they get accomplished rather what they can’t on a given day.

    You’re doing the world a lot of good in showing people that a handsome young man such as yourself can be afflicted with MS.
    You’re a very courageous man and your upbeat attitude and humor shine quite bright.
    It sounds like you had Trigeminal nerve involvement (specifically v2 and v3 branches). If you ever come down with Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN), I highly recommend you contact Dr. Ronald Brisman, a New York City based doctor. Brisman is one of the world’s foremost experts on the disease and has arguably the highest success rate in treating it.

    My father has MS, wheel-chair bound, I'm going through the diagnoses stage at the moment. I've had a couple of attacks and my balance and vision, along with brain fog and shooting pains, sensations etc. Seems each episode leaves a different problem behind.
    Where-as my dad, has terrible ataxia. Really is different for everyone.
    Thank's for sharing, it helps people who may not otherwise have known what thier suffering could be, and prompt a visit to the DR.

    Good to hear your story. Thanks for sharing.
    I have permanent optic neuritis in my right eye which started almost three years ago. After two MRI scans, and a lumbar puncture last Monday, I have finally been diagnosed with MS.
    It is reassuring to hear the similarities in your story. Along with the loss of balance, terrible memory, vertigo and fatigue, I also get the itching thing. I didn't realise it could be a symptom. I just thought it was me going nuts with everything else that's been going on, lol.
    All the best to you, pal, and good luck for the future!

I also remember at my first spinal tap I was screming and 4 people were trying to keep my body stable for 45 minutes...Then I would feel such an awful dizziness for more than a month..With Tysabri I would feel so fine for 3 years and then with Gilenya for 5,5 years...but when my body got really got used to it and it didn't have anything more to offer...I wish u the best mate!

    Just watching your story. It’s so helpful to hear you speak your story. I started with vision loss, having optic neuritis. I had blood work done, home heath nurse giving me steroids, and yes a spinal tap with also was the most horrendous experience. That and my MRI came back normal. Then I had episodes of random muscle spasms that would last days, seizure like episodes, fatigue where I can’t keep my eyes open no matter how hard I try and it feels like I’m in a haze. I’ve also had several numbness episodes in one leg. I’ve also developed migraines so bad that I can’t move and most recently, memory loss and trouble with multitasking and now I stutter in my speech when trying to say a word. After a year and a half I had a new MRI done where they found T2 flair hyperintensities in the periventricular region of my brain, which was not there prior and is one of the more common areas that MS attacks. And yet my doctor says I’m fine.... hopefully I get some answers soon. ❤️

    my symptoms were not like yours but am being diagnosed with regard to MS (my MRI results next week); my symptoms have accompanied me a couple of years now, and in the last year almost every day included some of those: fatigue beyond comprehension, burning and stabbing sensations all over the body including face and the brain itself, tingling, severe pains of different kind in every possible place, severe migraines, brain fog, problems with speech, dyslexic issues, not to mention mood swings and depressive attitude; I was being treated for Lyme for almost a year, but when the specialist told me I was Lyme-free, I was puzzled cause all of the symptoms still accompanied me (apart from migraines); lately I found out about dr Walhs diet and have been trying to stick to her diet - with great results so far; today is the first day without any symptoms whatsoever... even if the MS would come up positive on the test, I can see that I also have some control over my body; I've heard about people who already had lessions in their brain due to MS but when they changed their diet, the symptoms went away; I really belief we may help ourselves so don't give up hope

    You are so strong I'm on my journey for MS diagnosis but here on the UK they take so long. Hope you're doing fine with no more attacks, I know they can be awful. It's been suspected MS to me, excuse my english, pronunciation, so I'm waiting to see my doctor to see what she says. Hope that if indeed is MS, I can get it diagnosed and treated sooner rather than later 'cause I'm stuttering, numbness and tingling on my legs and arms as well as stiff legs, balance and coordination problems, and the other day I was walking with my friends and my right foot kept dropping and making me almost fall each time. Very embarrassing. I've been living with MS, not 100% confirmed, for about 8 years or so. Keep strong. Your support would mean very much to me, all the best and hope you're doing fine :)

He keeps saying it isn't MS but insists I continue to be monitored 'in case it is MS' I know it's MS but I also know it takes a while to be diagnosed. I have lesions on brain MRI but nothing on the spine yet. I'm living my life to the fullest right now. Thanks for sharing your story.

    You did such a great job explaining your symptom evolution, thank you. It is very scary and I have had a number of those you've mentioned and have just been to my doctor where I'm not getting much help at all and it's so frustrating. The way you describe the numbness in your face is "exactly" what I've experienced and the vision loss. ...I think the pandemic has really turned our medical system upside down and my doc seems to prefer to believe I'm not in the typical age group.?! ....but I'm not convinced. I even had a salty tongue for six weeks. Sigh.... The very best wishes to you. You seem like an exceptional person.

    i'm a 2nd going on 3rd year medical student in America studying for my board 1 exam before starting rotations in hospital this June of 2018, and i want to thank you for sharing your story. I used it to better learn about multiple sclerosis-- to associate a face and story with the disease. The detailed info you offered--- initial symptoms, medications used, adverse effects-- was all helpful; I even watched your video with my textbook open, so as to reference the medications you've used and the symptoms you've experienced. Now, in the future, when someone walks in with early symptoms as you described, I hope to catch it early in its course. Thanks and best of luck!
